Great post OP, I was just thinking about this. Yes, there were many, many threads on bush and martial law.

But like ALL things here on ATS, the prediction has come to pass.

And now we have another reason why ATS is Killing ATS.

You just can't keep making these silly predictions with none of them comming true.

I would like to say "starred and flagged" for you "If" I only knew how to do that.!!

So now that Bush is out of office, now what. So many on here predicted he was going to declare martial law, that he wasnt going to reliquesh his presidency, he was going to round up citizens and put them in make shift prisons, etc.. etc.. etc.. So what now. Are you the same ones who are going to say Obama is bringing in the New World Order? Lets quit with the presidential predictions because they are never right. Except for the people who stated that Bush wasnt going to declare martial law or pull some make believe executive order that was going to keep him in office indefinately.

And so I guess that Bush's expansion of Presidential and Government Powers, and the Powers taken from the States or Coerced out of them through block grants dangling monetary carrots before the Jack asses, and the doling out of the Treasury, and the Acts of Protection he took out on his own Country, not much less, several others and the wrangling of Compliance out of our Allies and some not so Great of friends. The Prisoner's in Guantanoma, the Watch list databases for suspected State Federal and International terrorists which fail to define what a terrorist or an act of terror is with anything but a broad far reaching brush. The tanks rolling down the streets and the quarantined cities sealed off after disastwers. the military policing looters. The creation of DHS on par with Hitler's SS. The paramilitary police being trained alongside of military forces on how to handle urban warfare, guised as desert urban Iraq warfare training now, just wait till you see the effects on your street to clean up crime, as they dictate crime to be. The intense efforts on military and parapolice (all police are para military police anymore) on civil unrest and nonviolent violence to quell them. The FEMA and EO's granting Power extreme to the Director and others for every National State of Emergency that comes along, gradually taking more and more control as their experience and public's misplaced trust grow. Their ability to convince you you are doing one thing when really you are doing another. The Increased tracking, surveillance, monitoring, and recording of all of us, including you. The justification of If you have nothing to hide or I have nothing to hide, being as popular a rant now, as: "please here take it all, it's all I have, just don't hurt me," and having the same victim under and overtones. The secreting of prisoners to lands foreign from their own and far from the records of their offenses, trusting sealed evidences which may or may not exist to the trust of just one more official Judge saying well I've seen it and it's pretty damning and us saying we're such proverbial vaginas we can't risk revealing information that might incite some criminal to commit some crime. From having nothing to fear but fear itself to Fear everything especially stuff that's not happened yet or likely may never occur. Yet your childishly naive enough to believe that nothing's wrong and it's all fine. You believe that just because he's not in office he doesn't still have power among the council of thrones? Barrack won't strike down his acts, although he may altar or expand upon them, but, even if he did strike them down, he will not strike down the Authority he took, so, it will always be available to government. One Pharoah paves the way for the next, but, the Pharoah's are not out of the game, just the picture.
But, no, you're 100% absolutely correct no quasi or actual martial law, round up of citizens and puttting them in make shift prisons like Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo alongside Muslim Citizens (oh wait whose Citizens did you think they'd start with? Hard to tell you it's ok for us if it's not ok for the rest of the world. How unfair would it be for them to do such things and not torture with torture their Citizen Terrorist suspects if we don't have the common decency to do it to ours.), etc.. etc.. etc..
I wouldn't place it on one, but rather a Succession of Powers, until, some staged Koo or other finally plants one General or other on the Americam Throne for life. Even if not, they achieve the same thing as a whole that an individual could, so, what really is the difference?
But no, I must hate Presidents, I must hate Bush, actually, I only hate blind followers, I could really care less about otherwise impotent leaders.

another term for Bush?

Only in Liberal fantasies.....only in a ATS bloggers basement...

Well the power is still with the elites. There have been 18+ years of the same power in control. Starting with George Bush Senior, then Bill Clinton, then Bush Jr. and now Hilary Clinton (obama), sure you will say that Obama control himself. One must not forget that Obama was not well known before this year and his rise to fame and the Presidency. He had to have some serious behind the scenes backing from the elite, lets face it our votes do not really count. The NWO knows what they are doing and Bill and Bush Senior are part of the ruling elite. Obama will be used as another puppet, until the NWO decided to rise and make itself known.

NWO/illuminati/Skull and Bones/Masons/shape shifting reptilians rule the planet and nothing will ever change that for some people. Did you know once someone gets into politics they become a highlander and the only way they can be killed is by a NWO/illuminati/Skull and Bones/Masons/shape shifting reptilian person. no matter what happens the NWO,illuminati,Skull and Bones, Masons,shape shifting reptilians are behind it. Ron Paul is great but if he ever gets into office he will ba labeled a NWO/illuminati/Skull and Bones/Masons/shape shifting reptilian. these NWO/illuminati/Skull and Bones/Masons/shape shifting reptilian theories are crap they are self fulfilling conspiracy. I bet before 9/11 people thought that the world trade centers were probably full of NWO/illuminati/Skull and Bones/Masons/shape shifting reptilian people you know a big building with corperate people is in on it. Then 9/11 happens then they are innocent civillians. I think if there is any dark evil secret society they are a SECRET and do not have pages of wiki info on them.

While I didnt agree with Bush on many things, I wasnt a Bush Basher. I rarely read these Martial Law threads because they are usually misleading paranoia. I was in a chat room called NO Bama. It was beyond Obama bashing, it was pure hate. When I spoke out against the racist hate filled crud I was booted out..........
I see no reason for Martial Law, the %1 at the top needs us to buy thier goods and services or they loose. Wealthy folks dont just get rid of thier customers, and the Military?..Most of them would lay down arms rather than try to enforce an unjust law.

Did bush not declare martial law some years ago after 9/11 ?

Loose from that, he started an unconstitunional war so basicly started his own law.

And i think the people of iraq can easy compare bush with hitler.
